Rogers Centre to become home to 10 million pounds of food - Sportsnet.ca

are currently unable to take the field due to the COVID-19 pandemic, their home stadium is still being put to good use.

Rogers Centre is set to become the temporary home to 10 million pounds of food as Rogers and the Jays Care Foundation support Food Banks Canada with the newinitiative. The goal is to provide a total of eight million meals for people in need across the country. “At Rogers, we consider all Canadians to be part of our extended family and we believe we have a responsibility to give back and help our family members in need,” said Melinda Rogers-Hixon, deputy chairman of the board for Rogers Communications. “With Rogers Centre vacant until baseball returns, we have an exciting opportunity to open our pantry of assets and offer a much-needed resource for Food Banks Canada.

“We have a strong tradition of community service at Rogers, and our 25,000 strong team members across the country are here to give together and give back to Canadians when they need it most,” Rogers president & CEO Joe Natale said. “Along with our employees, customers, and fans, we have already contributed more than 2 million meals to Food Banks Canada through COVID-19 and we are excited to roll up our sleeves to help fill more plates for Canadians relying on these donations.

If a major-league season takes place in 2020, it’s unclear where the Blue Jays would play. While the club’s spring training site in Dunedin Fla. may end up becoming a temporary home for logistical reasons, the Blue Jays haven’t ruled out playing in Toronto at some point in 2020. Regardless, Rogers Centre has enough space to store plenty of food for those in need.foodbankscanada.

Right on! Good works in non-mysterious ways. Cheers!
